Oxy Tetra-A

Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride 55mg/g

This is what I added to the water of my EOs when I moved them into their main coop yesterday. The package says:

Indications: is an animal and poultry formula which may be used to 1) Give newborn animals and birds a healthy start 2) Prevent setbacks from stress 3) Prevent or treat specific diseases 4) Improve weight gain

You can give it as a drench, in water or in food. You can give a half dose for stressful conditions such as moving birds, giving vaccinations or in extreme temperature changes and it can even be given to bees. There is a 60 hr withdrawal for eggs.

Seemed like the thing to do, I did give them a whole dose yesterday but I think I will give them a half dose as a preventative for the next 5 days.
